I contacted Phill Remick and asked him to discuss his
program of supplying and maintaining honey bee colonies for interested business
like ours here at Hyatt/Tamaya Resort.
We met and hit it off; he was very easy going and knows so much about
honey bees! Phill joined our resort team
and soon a group of us were learning the fundamentals of beekeeping and believe
me there is a huge learning curve.
He took us through the seasons, pointing out each condition
and situation we all encountered. Our
plan is to learn to manage the colonies on our own with Phill as our consultant
and troubleshooter. So far, so
good! Our bees delivered an average of
40 pounds each(total 80 pounds) of delicious REAL honey for our efforts with
plenty left for them to get through winter.
If anyone has questions or concerns regarding Phill’s
program, please feel free to contact me directly at Tamaya ResortAlex Kuhn Associate Director

When I met Phill I was immediately impressed by his love of honey bees. It is his life, he lives and breathes them, so to speak. He did a presentation with many staff members including our general manager that was so compelling and exciting it made me want to have bees then and there. We all meet Fridays at 10am and accomplish various goals and chores vital to our two colonies survival. I highly recommend Phill Remick to any business serious about protecting honey bees!Gail SchwanitzAdministrative Assistant to General Manager Colleen KaretiHyatt Tamaya Resort

BEES INVADE HYATT REGENCY TAMAYA

But These Bees Were Invited to Stay,
as Environmentally Friendly GuestsSANTA ANA PUEBLO (August 14, 2014) –
Bees can bring to mind sci-fi like headlines, and thoughts
of painful stings. In reality honeybees are important contributors to the many
fruits and vegetables that we eat. Earlier this summer, Hyatt Regency
Tamaya Resort and Spa added two colonies containing 20,000 bees each to its
grounds, furthering Tamaya’s mission of being an environmentally friendly
resort.
Honeybees are the major pollinators
of the resort’s many flower beds and its on-site orchard, vegetable and herb
gardens. It’s estimated that in the first year, these bees will produce
70-80 pounds of honey as well as beeswax. While the bees will need much of this
honey for the winter months, as much as 25-30 pounds will be harvested by the
resort and used in the Tamaya Mist Spa and Salon and in the resort’s kitchens.
According to Colleen Kareti, General Manager of Hyatt Regency Tamaya, “we
happily welcomed our little buzzing friends to the resort, and our human guests
can rest assured that there is virtually no danger of being stung from these
bees.” Why? They are too busy gathering pollen and nectar. As
a side note, honeybees rarely sting.
Every day, each worker bee flies
within a 2-3 mile radius of the hive searching for food. Upon their
return the bee does the “honey dance” which signals to the other bees where the
good stuff is located. Pollen and nectar are collected and converted by
the bees into an amber colored, all-natural honey that is deposited into
honeycombs. This light, sweet and sticky organic honey is perfect for
cooking and as an ingredient for body scrubs, wraps, facial masks and deep
conditioning hair treatments.
Many operators hire a full time
apiarist (a.k.a. beekeeper) to tend to their colonies. Hyatt Regency
Tamaya in contrast, has a “Green Team” of volunteer employees who receive
ongoing training on the care and handling of the bees from a locally contracted
bee expert (Phill Remick of New Bee Rescue) who visits regularly. In addition to the bee colony,
this environmentally conscious team is responsible for planting and maintaining
the veggie garden, herb garden and orchard. They support the kitchen and
landscaping teams harvesting herbs, and work with the Santa Ana Pueblo’s
Department of Natural Resources to maintain the resort grounds near the Rio
Grande. The team’s ongoing plans will incorporate adding more bee-friendly
plants into the resort’s landscaping to ensure the colony has enough food to
live on and enough to produce honey for use at the resort.
Recipient of TripAdvisor’s
GreenLeader Excellence Award, Tamaya continues to work to reduce its impact on
the environment through compositing, recycling, use of low-consumption LEDs,
water reduction programs, and adoption of Hyatt’s corporate food and beverage
philosophy of “Food, thoughtfully sourced, carefully served” in all of its
dining outlets. Tending 40,000 honeybees in the on-site colonies is a
clear extension of this philosophy on a local level at Hyatt Regency Tamaya
Resort and Spa.About Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort

"Soon after getting my bees, I developed severe allergic reactions when stung, this was so upsetting, my girlfriend and I live in the South Valley and have a large plot of land with much forage for the honey bees. I happened to hear Phill Remick speak at one of the meetings and we began discussing him caring for our bees since I was warned by the doctor to not take any more chances getting stung. 2014 will mark the second year New Bee Rescue has handled everything from installing packages, re-queening, mite control and taking off our honey. Phill is easy to work with and knows so much about honey bees and beekeeping in general, we were fortunate to find him!" Thad Gelson
